Chapter 123: 3D, the Disappeared Little Emperor!
The first half of the game passed in a flash, and during the intermission, Lin Mu, who was with unlimited physical energy, felt huge physical pressure.
wanted to block James's impact again and again, but was ruthlessly run over by James again and again.
That kind of playing style is rare in his life, and he has always maintained the same breakthrough power under high-intensity confrontation, Lin Mu must admit that the name of James, the physical superman, was not obtained for nothing.
In the first half of the fight, Kevin Durant was also tired enough.
Sitting on the bench, Durant gasped for air, grabbing the sports drink next to him was a wild pour.
In the starting lineup, except for Lin Mu, who played 21 minutes, Durant played the most minutes.
In the hand-to-hand fight with Valaijo on the inside, before the weight gain, Durant's defensive pressure was also huge.
This is also a problem for the Thunder at this stage, although Durant can play four, he has been playing a small forward role in the first year of his career, and he is obviously not suitable for the role play in the new season.
His scoring ability can be better displayed against power forwards, players at the No. 4 position generally don't move fast, and Durant's height and reach are more than capable of carrying excellent firepower offense at the No. 4 position.
But.
Durant's physical condition has always been a big problem, and weight and speed are one of the biggest factors that plague the players.
Such a problem needs to be solved, but with the gradual expansion of the position model, Lin Mu is not worried about the compatibility of the position, but how to form a suitable new era system, so that every player can enter it without the slightest rejection.
Just like the Warriors' style of play in the future, with the Splash Brothers and Draymond Green's Warrior system, many players can play brilliantly in it.
Unlike the Spurs' stable GDP system, the Warriors' team system is more flexible and more in line with the direction of future development.
Durant and his forward partner are very important, can attack and defend, will be an absolute offensive weapon in the small ball era!
On the other side, in the Cavaliers' away lounge, at the end of the half, James rarely sweated a lot, and his chest kept rising and falling, which also indicated that James's consumption in the first half was also huge.
Tough battle of offense and defense!
James underestimated Lin Mu's defensive intensity, and also underestimated the overall defensive intensity of the Thunder.
With Lin Mu as the core, the Thunder's defense is not as chaotic as imagined.
In the case that he couldn't open the situation, the players on the field seemed to have an offensive stagnation, and under the opponent's restrictions, the scoring efficiency was not as good as expected.
"We need to be mentally motivated, the opponent is more difficult than we thought!"
Cavaliers head coach Mike Brown became the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers on June 3, 2005, and at the age of 35, Brown became the second-youngest head coach in the NBA after Lawrence Frank.
In the past few years of his career as a team, the Cavaliers lineup has not been very complete, and they have entered the playoffs for three consecutive years, and led the Cavaliers in the 06-07 season to the finals.
Mike Brown is a selfless coach who knows how to use superstars on the team, and in his five years at the helm of the Cavaliers, he has a fairly high winning percentage.
In the future, one of the assistant coaches of the Golden State Warriors and Kerr's most effective assistant coach, Mike Brown's role is often more powerful than imagined!
He has excellent tactical skills, and it was obvious in the first half that the Thunder suppressed the Cavaliers' entire team.
Except for James, the absolute breaking point, who can take advantage, the confrontation in the rest of the positions has not taken any advantage.
Of course, he never expected that Lin Mu's single defense against James could consume so much physical energy from the little emperor, and such a high-intensity physical confrontation never stopped in the entire first half!
From the first attack, the war between James and Lin Mu has begun!
"LeBron, you need to string up the team and make the players perform better!"
Mike Brown knows that it is unlikely that the desire to rely on James alone to penetrate the opponent will be realized, so in the second half, Mike Brown wants to use James' strong vision ability to help the Cavaliers once again grasp the absolute initiative on the court!
However, the first attack at the beginning of the second half surprised Mike Brown!
After the break, the little emperor was still reserving physical energy, and in the first round after playing, James directly incarnated as the core of ball control, and Xiao Mo became a fixed-point shooter, and his role was directly reduced by more than half.
As Xiao Mo, who likes to attack with the ball, when he no longer plays the role of point guard, but only as a fixed shooter, that situation is really bad!
Without excellent defense and excellent catch-and-shoot skills, Xiao Mo's role on the court at this time is embarrassing, and the negative effect looks more obvious.
But that's the limit of what Mike Brown can do, with no one on the Cavaliers bench and a desperate lack of defenders.
With the continuous progress of the times, it is not unreasonable for 3D players to rise.
Able to attack and defend, the main thing is not to occupy any possession.
The strongest people such as Kerry Thompson, Danny Green, A. Riza...
These are all representatives of the 3-and-D players that fans are familiar with.
Some people will say that Paul George can also be counted among 3D players, in the early part of his career, George's role is indeed more like a 3D player, but as he continues to improve and improve his ability to hold the ball, Paul George in the later period is more inclined to be an offensive player with the ball on the court, rather than a pure 3D player.
Compared with Paul George after the All-Star, Ray Allen in the latter part of his career is more like a typical 3-and-D player.
But what's even better than traditional 3D is that Ray Allen's offensive ability with the ball is top-notch, whether with or without the ball, Ray Allen can play his strong strength on the court.
The most important thing is that this thing has a very good defense!
If you want to say that the most sacrificed of the three giants of the Green Army, I am afraid that it is the gentleman Lei who once commanded the bucks and the supersonic.
In James's life, he has partnered with many players, but if you want to say that the strongest 3D, I am afraid that only Ray Allen in Miami is the only one.
Although he was 37 years old at the time, the role of the pitch was still very evident.
The game-winning three-pointer against the Spurs in G6 was one of the greatest scenes of the 21st century.
Danny Green?
Real Ama during the Los Angeles Lakers period, it was really ironclad and unshakable, and his state declined sharply, and in terms of on-court performance, it was indeed inferior to Ray Allen's performance when he was in the Miami Heat.
When James became the ball-holding core, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Mu's mouth.
Lin Mu is afraid of James, who keeps impacting with his own strength, when the rhythm slows down, James wants to play the same performance as in the first half, Lin Mu will not agree!
With the help of blocking and finding teammates, Lin Mu can still quickly defend in place and not give James any space to pass the ball easily.
Pushing him near the three-point line, shooting 33 percent from three-point range, James wouldn't normally choose a three-point shot.
The Cavaliers tried to make a run, but there was no way to shake off the younger, more dynamic Thunder players than them.
They are all defensive giants, and even Durant can rank in the upper reaches of the league in defensive efficiency when he is physically fit.
If you want to finish off with these stinky fish and rotten shrimp, aren't you making trouble!
After a long time, James found a very embarrassing problem, this Nima's, pure and pure, has no good chance!
Give it to the inside line big Z?
Jordan Jr. behind him went around the front defense, and it was easy to make passing mistakes under huge pressure.
Big Z is old, and it is inevitably a little difficult to ask for a veteran by the previous standard.
It's been a long time, or do I need to attack on my own?
James shook his head, since that's the case, let's do it!
With only five seconds left on the offensive clock, James had to make a strong break.
The breakthrough between the prepared breakthrough and the hasty breakthrough is obviously not a concept, and this time Lin Mu did not feel the huge physical pressure in the first half.
The body is tightly attached to James, his arms are raised high, once James wants to forcibly jump, Lin Mu will definitely let him taste the authentic Chinese hot pot!
tomato
Quickly came to the basket, James did not choose to get up, but stopped in the paint area, trying to rely on feints to shake off Lin Mu's center of gravity and trick the latter into jumping.
Lin Mu didn't shake, and the moment James made a layup, he slapped the ball out of the sideline!
"Oops, it's comfortable!" Lin Mu was comfortable, the feeling of this hat was really cool!
"Ding! The hidden quest [Disappearing Little Emperor] has been successfully triggered! ”
"Limit LeBron James' scoring to 10 points in the next round!"
"Mission conditions: 1. The host needs to be in front of James; 2. Time calculation starts from this moment; 3. Within 10 points, 10 points are not included! ”
"The status of the reward is unknown, the conditions of the punishment are unknown..."
